About the role
- This isn't a role for someone who wants to step back from the technical work.
- You'll be working alongside the team on hard systems problems, contributing to architecture and code review, and working closely with our CTO on some of the most important technical decisions at the company.
Responsibilities
- Manage and grow the Infra team, giving engineers real ownership of hard problems and holding them to a high bar.
- Design, build, and maintain Convex's global cloud infrastructure alongside the team.
- Deep knowledge of distributed systems and operating infrastructure at scale, including owning systems through major scale transitions or building core infrastructure from scratch.
- A track record of growing engineers and building strong teams, not just shipping software.
- DO THEY DEVELOP PEOPLE, NOT JUST SHIP SOFTWARE?
- At Convex, "my manager told me to" is not a satisfactory answer to why we're building something, even if the manager is the CTO.
- Building something from nothing is hard.
- Trust is hard to build and easy to destroy.
Requirements
- If you have a deep background in distributed systems and care about making the people around you better, we'd love to talk.
- If you can't get deep in the weeds with the team, you're going to have a hard time leading engineers who live there.
Nice to have
- Experience working in fast-moving environments where requirements shift and many of the hardest problems are not fully specified upfront.
- Interest in working in-person at Convex's office in SF.
- Ability to write high quality code (knowledge of Rust is a plus, but you'll figure it out).
Compensation
